Rearspoiler

Rearspoiler, of Slaughta Manor, is an imperfect individual made out of tin who writes music which is intended to make you move (and sometimes smile). Rearspoiler enjoys starting tunes but doesn't always finish them. Therefore, you can find a musical selection in the box above. You get a special prize if you can guess the ending of any one of the tunes.Hailing from a dry, hot country with little water, Rearspoiler likes music that sounds wet. Rearspoiler also likes tunes that sound like they are about to implode on themselves.Recently Rearspoiler collaborated with Stuttgart-based art duo Liebidow , producing some music - Lumberjack Haus and Folksong of the IXth Ker - for their site-specific video pieces in Dubrovnik and Budapest respectively.Currently in a cold, wet country, Rearspoiler would like to crank up the thermostat - heavy bass and cracking beats for winter, methinks...Update - 23.11.06
Currently in Berlin, Rearspoiler has spent the last 2.5 weeks in Stuttgart making further collaborations with filmmakers Liebidow. Forward!

VideoThe following videos have a special significance to Rearspoiler. They have been sources of inspiration, something to think about, or perhaps there has been some personal involvement.A live rendering of the classic, Lumberjack Haus, in Klub Orlando in Dubrovnik, the place of its inception. Never mind the two fools in the video..."How to Make a Beat" and "Nutcase" are the work of talented lads from the South, sunny side up. Rearspoiler urges you to check out isore productions , these guys are always up to no good... hah. In fact, Rearspoiler collaborated on the video "Nutcase", contributing to the set design. If you´re ever looking for that faded ´70s kitsch, look no further.. And "How to Make a Beat" is just plain cool. Czechoslovakian Animation Animation from old Czechoslovakia. Two of Rearspoiler's favourite animators of all, Jan Svankmajer and Jiri Barta.

The video features three mentally subnormal children (MC Mack, Little Fuckin' Kev and Ginger Joe) rapping. The video was submitted by the three youths into a competition run by 679 Recordings, with the hope of winning the grand prize of a 'Kano' brand BMX. The Kersal Massive did not win the competition, but the video was leaked to the internet, eventually appearing on the user-generated content site YouTube, and almost immediately began to generate enormous interest.Kersal Massive as memeMuch like the Star Wars kid phenomenon, the original video has become a popular internet meme, generating many video responses, hommages and spoofs, such as "The Persil Massive"[1], which takes the familiar structure of the original and uses it to consider the perennial modern problem of which washing powder to use. The majority of responses, however, simply add hip hop or drum and bass backing tracks and effects [2].Cultural touchstonesThe performers are classed by many observers as chavs. This is evident in Little Fuckin' Kev's 'Nike' brand jacket, sporting makes are often associated with chav culture, and his decision to roll one sleeve of the jacket up to the elbow can be viewed as a take-off from famous American rappers such as LL Cool J and Nelly.Lyrics(MC Mack) This is the Kersal man MC Mack yeah Featuring Little Fuckin' Kev yeah Over there in that corner Is our boy Ginger Joe yeah We don't fuck about.Kick it, Kev.(Little Fuckin' Kev) Got on tha bus with me day saver Smoked a reefer in da corner Laid low Did a Grand Theft Auto,(MC Mack) In a '05 V6 Clio Twin Turbo Y'know how we roll with them backseat hoes On we go H S B C we do them grafts, An' we got the money cos we know how to rap!Yeah, an' that's a fuckin other one, and we don't fuck about. Levenshulme ain't got shit on us yeah (Little Fuckin' Kev) Shit on us Pimpin! You know that fuckin... tell 'em Joe how the fuck it is man(Ginger Joe) Yeah man, yeah man(MC Mack) Levenshulme can go fuck that shit yeah cos we know how to do it, Kersal Massive, you know that, Fuck. Peace.Critical responsesMuch critical speculation focuses on MC Mack's choice of theme: HSBC has not commented on this lyric, and MC Mack has also remained silent, but he seems to be implying that the high profit margin from his rapping career ("An' we got the money cos we know how to rap") has given rise to the need for adequate banking facilities. Another possibility is a reference to bank robbery ('grafting'); MC Mack may simply be expanding Little Fuckin' Kev's game of Grand Theft Auto, lyrically describing a scenario involving the use of a virtual car (the '05 V6 Clio twin turbo' of the second verse) to rob a virtual branch of HSBC.The performers seem too young to drive, much less "roll with them backseat hoes", and the V6 Renault Clio is a mid-engined car, possessing no rear seats for the aforementioned hoes to sit in. Renault have no plans at present to release a turbo version of the Clio, still less a twin-turbo version. The brief episode described here seems, on a cursory reading, less than coherent, but on closer inspection one unearths the possibility that the events portrayed by Little Fuckin' Kev are the result of hallucination: after getting on the bus with his day saver and smoking a reefer in the corner, the young narrator may have been describing a drug induced psychedelic experience.Ginger Joe features only briefly in the video to say "Yeah man", and some have lightheartedly suggested he may be the group's manager, producer or dealer.TriviaKersal is an area in Salford, Greater Manchester. In the video the Kersal Massive shout abuse at rival Manchester area Levenshulme. According to teachers at a Salford Primary School, Little Fucking Kev was branded a "Devil Child" before he left. It was also mentioned that his father went to prison for murder.[citation needed]This article originally appeared on Wikipedia in 2006 and also appears on answers.comRetrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kersal_Massive"
